Tapin released the public call on social media Thursday night.

31 years ago, our parents and grandparents did something incredible: they united the three Baltic countries into a single living chain, the Via Baltica, and they told the Soviet dictatorship: everything, now is our time, our right, our freedom.

We read it, watch it, listen to it and envy it

We read about it, we watch, we listen and we envy. Today, a few dozen kilometers from Lithuania, our destined and historical brothers and sisters have fought for their freedom.

We have the opportunity to help them, to show that Lithuania and Belarus are united in the fight for freedom, as was the case with the GDL. This idea is already flowing in the social space, I do not assimilate its authorship, but good thoughts discover the ground, so I add and say:

On the historic Baltic Way Day (Sunday, August 23), at the historic 7 pm, Laisvės TV invites: let’s enter a new living network: the Freedom Road to Belarus!

From the Cathedral Square in Vilnius to the state border with Belarus, there is a Freedom Path, which will show the neighbors that they are not alone.

There is not much time to organize everything, but everything is possible, and we have shown more than once that “it is just an opinion that it is impossible”.

Our organizing committee starts work tonight. Tomorrow an event will be created on facebook where you will see the complete progress of the work

We will clarify logistical matters, we will obtain the necessary permits, we will coordinate the provisions of the safe event with epidemiologists, we will use masks and gloves.

Early next week, we will announce the registration of volunteers, sector coordinators and organizations who wish to join. You really need help, get ready.

We will divide the entire Freedom Road into sectors, we will begin the registration of all participants, we will indicate the sectors, we will coordinate the most convenient routes from different cities and roads.

And we will march on Sunday.

And share this message, dust the flags and suck on new ones, let the red and white national flag of Belarus light up next to our Tricolor. Let Vytis show the direction to freedom again.

On a historic day at a historic hour, let’s be with those who shed blood for freedom.

Sunday, August 23, 7 pm Freedom Road to Belarus!

We recall that the BNS news agency reported that after the Belarusian authorities announced that President Aliaksandr Lukashenko had won the elections with an overwhelming advantage, a wave of bloody clashes with protesters broke out in the country.

The security forces used special means, such as incendiary grenades, to dispel those gathered. More than 5,000 were arrested. persons.

The Health Ministry reported that more than 200 victims are being treated in Belarusian hospitals during the protests. The Interior Ministry said a protester was killed when an unknown explosive device exploded in his hands.

The protests stem from the controversial presidential elections, during which, according to the Central Election Commission loyal to Aliaksandr Lukashenko, he was re-elected to another term with an overwhelming advantage, with opposition candidate Sviatlana Cichanouskaja coming in second with 10%. votes.

The opposition claims that the results were falsified.
